All Stars – Sat, Aug 6, 1:30pm – this must see event involves 10 of the raddest surfers in the world showing off 다운로드. Each one paddles out and attempts the craziest move they can think of. There will be airs, flips, pier shots, and who knows what. The competitors are Kelly Slater, Dane Reynolds, Jordy Smith, Taj Burrow, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Julian Wilson, Rob Machado, Andy Irons (Honorary Spot), and Facebook fan favorite Alejo Muniz.

Surfing Heats – There are plenty to watch including mens, womens, and juniors. I recommend watching the morning heats, you can beat the crowds and avoid the hot sun (trust me it gets hot down there). Here is a schedule for the Heats:

Surfing Walk of Fame – Induction Ceremony – Thu, Aug 4, 10am – if you’ve ever been to Main St in Huntington Beach then you’ve probably seen the Duke statue and all the surfer stones embedded in the sidewalk. This local favorite ceremony honors surfers in the following categories: pioneer, champion, local hero, surf culture, woman of the year, and the honor roll. (**Update: there is also the Surfing Hall of Fame inside of HSS with handprints in the cement, that ceremony is on Friday at 10am**)

Lost Atlas Movie Premiere – Thu, Aug 4, 7:30pm – the latest movie from Kai Neville will be showing for free on the Strand in an open air format. In his last movie, Modern Collective, Kai set the standard for “elite-level surfing” and this flick is thought to be more of the same. A full review can be found here.
